(Sorry if this message appears twice -- but it seems the usenet => mailing
list gateway is only one way -- messages to usenet don't end up on the
mailing list.)
Two of my users are complaining that it takes a very long time (sometimes
in the order of 15 minutes) for them to log in.
I have had this problem before -- but it then turned out that the problem
was simply a question of having very large roaming profiles.
I advised the users affected by this problem to move their large files to
their share -- rather than storing them in the roaming profile -- this
helped for most users.
However, this is not the case for these two users. Their home directories
are only a few megabytes big. They are also complaining that their
documents disappear when they log off and store the documents in their
profiles. I have advised them to store their documents in their mounted
home directory for now -- but this is just a stop-gap measure until the
problem gets solved.
I'm running Samba 2.2.8a on FreeBSD 5.1 as a Windows NT4 domain controller
-- and the clients are Windows 2000 Professional on the older machines and
Windows XP Professional on the newer ones. Since this is a school -- and
the users are not assigned any specific computers -- logins happen on
different computers all the time.
I can see nothing out of the ordinary in log.smbd -- does anyone know what
I could do to try solving this problem?
Thanks in advance!
